The problem with pg_shadow is unless you specifically looked at it in
the docs after 8.1, you had no idea it was deprecated. I don't really
think of it as deprecated.
As someone mentioned, forcing a user to install an extension makes the
deprecation visible. Another option would be to have the backend spit
out a WARNING the first time you access anything that's deprecated. Both
of those are pertinent reminders to people that they need to change
their tools.
